I've learned that southern and central regions already seeing bud breaks among early varieties. Since early season protection (1-3 inches, no later than 3-5 inches) is a critical timing for Phomopsis management, I uploaded "Note on Phomopsis" which is a part of topics I will be presenting at the next vineyard meeting (4/29/2009). I'm planning to add information about black rot and powdery mildew in the near future to this note, but in the mean time, please take a look at this draft, especially if you have issues with Phomopsis in your vineyard. Hopefully, it will help your decision making.
I hope you and your family have a good holiday season and a Happy (and safe) New Year! Thanks again for your support of our programs. Here are some recent media highlights. 😉 The link will open a new window. AHS AREC promotional video that highlights some of our activities. The link did not work... It asks you to log in to VT. I will request the IT people to change the setting, but in a meantime, here's the same video. We also appeared in the Library of Congress project “Winery Workers of Virginia”. One more announcement: I will be moving this blog to a new location ( ext.grapepathology.org ) early next year. I had to make a change due to the email subscription service, which has been terminated. You do not need to change your bookmark or your email subscription. The URL will be forwarded to a new site and your email subscription has been moved to a new site already.
